Alberto Morales, Executive Chairman and CEO, stated: "Andean delivered a strong third quarter, with higher production, record sales and sustained operational momentum across both assets. Consolidated production of 27,262 GEOs increased 6% year over year and 7% from the second quarter, bringing nine-month production to 79,992 GEOs—12% above the prior-year period. Both operations contributed to the quarter's strong performance, with San Bartolome sustaining its robust production profile and Golden Queen delivering a significant sequential rebound. This performance reflects the strength of our operating platform and provides a solid foundation for the fourth quarter.

During the quarter, we were proud to be named to the 2026 TSX30, recognizing Andean as one of the top-performing companies on the Toronto Stock Exchange. With strong momentum in both operations and gold and silver prices, which remain well above prior-year levels, we are well positioned for a strong finish to 2026. We look forward to reporting our full third-quarter financial and operating results on November 10, 2026."
